Film Industry Provides Economic Boost

By: Import User
Updated: January 7, 2009
Three movies will soon be shooting in Shreveport/Bossier. Thursday the city met with police and the fire department to iron out last minute scheduling for the movie shots. The projects are expected to generate 30 million dollars for Shreveport/Bossier. With two movies already being shot in the area right now, it`s easy to believe the river cities recently made the top ten list in Movie Makers Magazine. We placed sixth for best places to make movies. "Cleaner" starring Samuel L. Jackson should begin this coming Monday. Just that one movie alone will use 40 locations. So, in this instance three could prove to be a crowd at times during shooting in downtown Shreveport.
